January, named after Janus of Roman Mythology, is the month when we look both ways. All of us know what the past Year has brought but we do not know what the New Year holds for us. We can now tell you that it does hold'a very important event in the future.

You were told to mark March 16, 1968 on your calendar. A program of unusual appeal to all persons interested in genealogy has been planned with a great deal of care for that day. The Alabama Genealogical Society, Inc. is sponsoring Dr. Conrad Swan, Rouge Dragon Pursuivant of Arms, College of Arms of England at a luncheon-lecture. Upon his appointment by Oueen Elizabeth II to this office, Dr. Swan became the 50th person to hold the position. This office was first created in the 1400 hundreds.

Dr. Swan wrote he was looking forward to visiting Alabama as he believes he would be the first of the Queen's Officers to ever visit this.State. Dr. Swan will discuss the continuous genealogical and heraldic link from 1607, between America and Great Britain. We wish we could tell you that his lovely wife was going to accompany him, but at this writing we cannot. She is Lady Hilda Northcote, daughter of the Earl of Iddesleigh and a cousin of Field Marshall Montgomery.

You will receive more particulars at a later date about this event. Alcebiades stated that men went away after hearing his Uncle Pericles orate, saying "it was fine, it was very good" and afterwards thinking no more about it; but they went away from hearing Socrates with the point of what he had said sticking fast in their minds. Look­ ing behind us we know you went away from our Fall meeting and the splendid historical-genea­ logical talk of Mr. Frank Shackelford Moseley, feeling rewarded. He mentioned that Dr.Roland Harper's "10,000 Cemetery Records in Alabama" may be found in the University of Alabama Library. We are proud to list Mr. Moseley as one of our hardest working members.

January is represented in Art as two-faced, one looking forward, the other backward, holding in one hand the scepter and in the other a key. This administration has preferred to use the key. The Alabama Genealogical Society's most valuable asset is its members, each of whom has the opportunity to prove his worth to the organization and his ability to handle responsibility. Life in the final analysis is quite demanding. It provides opportunities but at the same time it demands performances. The same can be applied to us, for the Society provides the opportunities but it also demands performances.

Our standard is to do our best with enthusiasm. There is still a connection be­ tween effort and reward and our reward is in knowing we are building an organization in which we are proud for dur State, for our Society and for our members.

Sincerely,

Dorothy Y. Woodyerd NDEX TO FEMALES IN MARRIAGE IN LOWNDES COUNTY 1830-1871

Lauderdale County Florence - County Seat An original county, created in 1818. It has had no boundary changes.
